We stayed at the Urban Leisure last night and it was quite an experience! Pulling into the dark, empty car park scattered with leaves, it felt completely deserted — almost like we’d stepped into a movie set. Inside, we were warmly welcomed by a lovely receptionist (who seemed to be running the whole place on her own!).
All the facilities were closed, and with the red carpets and long, silent corridors, the whole place gave off serious Overlook Hotel vibes from The Shining — eerie but kind of brilliant in its own way.
Check-in was quick and pleasant, our room was large, clean, and had a nice bathroom. Probably the cheapest hotel we’ve ever stayed in — and yet one of the most memorable! The kids (and my husband) spent the evening running around exploring and making spooky videos.
If you’re after a bit of quirky fun and don’t mind a quiet atmosphere, it’s definitely a stay you won’t forget.
